Dynamic Purchasing System for the Provision of Adults and Children's Home Support Services

The London Borough of Haringey is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Home Support Services. This DPS will facilitate the procurement and commissioning of Home Support Services for vulnerable Adults and Children aged 0-18 years.

The Home Support Services are categorized into two main groups: Adults Home Support and Children's Home Support. Adults Home Support encompasses services such as Home Support, Reablement, Out Of Borough support, and Bundled Hours. Children's Home Support (0-18 years) includes Home Support, Reablement, Out of Borough support, Family Support, and Specialist Family Therapeutic Support Services.

Contracts awarded under this DPS will be subject to the "light touch regime" as defined by sections 74 to 76 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The DPS utilizes a mini-competition model, where suppliers registered in relevant subcategories are invited to bid for specific service needs advertised on a sourcing portal. The DPS is open to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs). Additionally, other public sector bodies, including London Borough Councils, Pan London organizations, and Local Authorities in the Home Counties, can access this DPS through an access agreement with the London Borough of Haringey.

London Borough of Haringey (The Council) is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure and commission Home Support Services for vulnerable Adults and Children (0-18 years). The Council invites potential suppliers of Home Support Services to submit a request to participate in the DPS.
The DPS shall be divided into Service Categories:
Adults Home Support:
- Home Support
- Reablement
- Out Of Borough
- Bundled Hours

Children's Home Support (0-18 years):
- Home Support
- Reablement
- Out of Borough
- Family Support
- Specialist Family Therapeutic Support Services

When applying for membership of the DPS, potential suppliers will be invited to select which service subcategories within each of the Service Categories they wish to apply for. The selection of the specific subcategory will determine which tenders the potential supplier will see. There is no limit on the number of categories and subcategories potential suppliers may choose - this is entirely at the discretion of the potential supplier; however, they must be prepared to deliver services in those service subcategories.
When the Council requires specific services, it will run a mini competition on the sourcing portal. The Council shall select which service category, and sub-category applies to the mini competition, and the potential suppliers that are registered to the relevant sub-category shall be invited to submit a bid. At the end of the mini competition, the Council will normally award a contract for provision of the Services. The award will be to the supplier that best meets the Council's requirements based on an evaluation of the Bids submitted.

The contracts to be awarded under this DPS will be subject to the "light touch regime" under sections 74 to76
of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the "2015 Regulations). Accordingly the full scope of the 2015 Regulations do not apply.
